The aim of this study was to examine the construct validity, accuracy, and differential item functioning (DIF) of the Comprehensive Occupational Therapy Evaluation (COTES) with Rasch measurement model and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). A total of 321 persons with mental illness were recruited from an inpatient unit of a teaching hospital in northern Taiwan. There were 142(44.2%) males and 179(55.8%) females. The mean age of the subjects was 30.2 years (SD=9.43). The WINSTEPS 3.56, AMOS 7.0 and SPSS 17.0 were used for data analysis. The results showed that only the social behavior subscale fitted with the model requirement for both CFA and Rasch model. But the accuracy of the subscale was not good. The most difficult endorsed items for three subscales were the activity level (general behavior subscale), group roles (social behavior subscale) and fine motor coordination (task behavior subscale). There was no DIF item in the social behavior subscale; two DIF items were found for the general behavior and task behavior subscales. Therefore, there are needs to revise the general behavior and task behavior subscales to fit the requirement of unidimensionality. More items are needed in the social behavior subscale to increase its accuracy. |
